Moshfegh's bold venture beyond her comfort zone in Lapvona is a welcome promise of how much more she has to offer American literature today. * Financial Times * What impresses here is not so much Moshfegh's abilities with character or narrative, or even her language . . . as the qualities Lapvona shares with a Francis Bacon painting: depicting in blood-red vitality, without morals or judgment, the human animal in its native chaos. * Guardian * Moshfegh expertly creates a world with its own superstitions and laws, both timeless and topical. * Oprah Daily * Moshfegh's genius is her ability to rip away the veil, revealing the horrors beneath, in writing so compelling, and bleakly funny, that we can't bear to look away. * i * A witty, vicious novel.. . Moshfegh is one of our most thrilling chroniclers of the abject * Observer (USA) * Booker-shortlisted Ottessa Moshfegh is likely to out-weird most things published next year - set in a medieval fiefdom, could it be a work of genius, too? -- Stephanie Cross * Daily Mail, *Books to Look Out For 2022* * Deliriously quirky medieval tale . . . Moshfegh brings her trademark fascination with the grotesque to depictions of the pandemic, inequality, and governmental corruption, making them feel both uncanny and all too familiar. It's a triumph. * Publishers Weekly (starred review) * [A] truly unique novel. * Times Literary Supplement * Moshfegh writes brilliantly bizarre. Her arresting fourth novel continues this tradition. * Mail on Sunday * Despite its medieval milieu, Lapvona is a quintessential Moshfegh book. It has the warped earthiness of the author's first two novels... [and] a powerful undercurrent of allegory. * Economist * Enjoyably disgusting - an effective...medieval fantasy. * Literary Review * One of America's most celebrated authors continues her exploration of what fiction has to offer with a further digression from the standard realist purview and into fantasy... a fascinating premise, and I'm excited to see the yarn Moshfegh is able to weave. * Chicago Review of Books * No one is quite who he first seems in the latest wicked tale from macabre master Moshfegh . . . Sculpting an eerily canny fabular world of contrasts and evil, cartoonish cruelty, in her signature way, Moshfegh conjures a grotesque, disturbing story of gross inequality and senseless strife. * Booklist - Starred Review * A thrilling dissection of illusion and reality. * SheerLuxe * Lapvona is a sublime work in the truest sense - mighty, irrepressible and terrifying. * ArtReview * Like a twisted reworking of A Hundred Years of Solitude... readers will no doubt relish its icy intensity and Old Testament grimness. * Spectator * Strange, subversive and utterly unique. * Grazia * Weird, unsettling and exciting...Moshfegh writes like a dream - or perhaps a nightmare? * Eastern Daily Press * [A] strange, disturbingly funny faux-historical novel. * Observer, *Books of the Year* * A brazen, mordantly comic and decidedly odd examination of corruption... proving to be one of the most provocative and divisive reads of the year. * i, *Summer Reads of 2022* *
